The Rude Pundit: Why Michelle Malkin Ought to Be Caged Like a Rabid Shihtzu (Stalker Edition)

[meegbear]

So, like the readers of every blog under the friggin' sun know by now, the hilarity goes something like this: President Bush gives his Saturday radio address sayin' that no goddamn middle class children are gonna get government health care on his watch; the Democrats, finally realizing that subtlety doesn't work in Idiot America, give their response through twelve year-old Graeme Frost, a Baltimore kid who was nearly killed in a car accident, whose sister is permanently brain-damaged by the accident, whose family doesn't have health insurance, and whose life was saved because of SCHIP; the Baltimore Sun story about Graeme and his family sets off a mad scramble in Right Blogsylvania over who can debunk what is essentially a puff piece on the Frosts; and, sweet ejaculatory glee, they think they've found shit on the Frosts, who, in the mind of the right, are "selfish yuppies" because they didn't have health insurance despite being middle class. Now, who exactly are the abusive bastards here?

Michelle Malkin is raking her fingernails across herself to keep herself wet and throbbing at the thought that discrediting a kid who "was in a coma for a week and still requires physical therapy" might discredit the whole SCHIP push. Pushing that fleshy button like it's controlling nukes pointed at Iran, Malkin squirted like a love juice fountain at the thought of taking down these vile fuckers, these Frosts, who would dare put their children in the political spotlight. Scrawls Malkin in full tilt orgasm, "The Frosts pushed their children into the political arena. They were joined by other parents who loaned their tots to the leftist cause for a full-press on CHIP."

See, Malkin went above and beyond the lazy ass Google and Nexis searches of other right wing crazies. Oh, yeah, she got in her car and drove around to look for evidence that the Frosts were scheming rich people. Unironically, Malkin justifies all this probing with "Asking questions and subjecting political anecdotes to scrutiny are what journalists should be doing." Even if subjecting policy, not anecdotes, to scrutiny is what journalists should be doing.

Visiting Halsey Frost's commercial property, she met Mike Reilly a "tenant" at the building, and she cornered the poor welder and pumped him for his opinions on matters Frost and non-Frost-related: "Reilly was an outspoken advocate for socialized health care without any means-testing whatsoever and an insistent critic of the Iraq war." That must totally discredit Reilly's portrayal of Frost as "struggling."

Not content to go to the place of business, Malkin stalked the Frosts: "I also passed by the Frosts’ rowhouse. There was an '01 - 20 -09' bumper sticker plastered on the door and a newer model GMC Suburban parked directly in front of the house." Oh, the conundrum - they can't wait for Bush to be out of office, but they buy American. Goddamnit, why can't traitors be traitors through and through.

The right keeps justifying their pillorying of the Frosts with the bullshit argument that they "chose" to go without health insurance when Bonnie Frost's job didn't offer it and Halsey Frost was self-employed and they made $45,000 for a family of four. Median income for a family of four in Maryland? $89,608. Income to qualify for at least some form of Maryland's Children's Health Program? $61,950. Well below the median. And the Frosts' income? Well below Maryland's threshold. Sorry, gang. This ain't another welfare queen myth.

Yeah, the Frosts made a choice: they walked into a casino with their income and took a gamble like so many others that they couldn't afford health insurance. And to the right, they lost the bet and so, well, fuck 'em, they should have done without something else. To the left, the issue is why there's a casino there in the first place.

But the whole thing is total bullshit. It's a distraction that the right is attempting again, just like the MoveOn.org ad stupidity. Talk about the Frosts and you can avoid the issue of uninsured children. Talk about "Petraeus/Betray Us" and you don't have to address a general baldfaced lying to Congress. For Malkin and her ilkin, there's only attack, not rational discussion. Everything has to be reduced to its pornographic essence, fit only for easy consumption and the throes of self-passion and masturbatory yawps of her readership, jacking it hard at Malkin going out and kicking the ass of a twelve year-old.

1. As someone who just recently moved into a rowhome I can tell you this

9 chances out of 10, the car parked in front of my row home is probably NOT my car.

So unless someone did a plate check on the car - don't assume it belongs to the Frosts

3. Amen.

There's two cars parked out in front right now. Neither are mine (I use bike and public transport), and the landlord parks his in the garage.

2. That was a pretty good summation of Michelle "Me Love You Long Time" Malkin.

Talk to a male knuckledragger about Malkin, and he'll eventually let on that he doesn't really listen to her, he just wants to "do" her.

So, yeah, the Rude Pundit piece was a bit graphic, but it certainly framed Malkin properly.

4. Personally, I enjoy The Rude Pundit but this piece

was too soft on Malkin. She's so vile she makes the Rude One seem like a soft fluffy bunny. This is not a dig at His Rudeness, because I'm not sure there is a person alive capable of being Rude enough to describe Malkin.

7. You're amazingly

astute..Rude gave it a good go, though, didn't he?

[lazyriver]

11. It was a stellar effort and better than I could do.

5. Yip, malkin's a predatory

bitch and our Rude Pundit knows how to describe her so well that even though it's a tragic situation..I laugh at his..oh, so very rude description of the, Rabid Shihtzu, Michelle Malkin, "raking her fingernails across herself to keep herself wet and throbbing at the thought that discrediting a kid who "was in a coma for a week and still requires physical therapy" might discredit the whole SCHIP push. Pushing that fleshy button like it's controlling nukes pointed at Iran, Malkin squirted like a love juice fountain at the thought of taking down these vile fuckers, these Frosts, who would dare put their children in the political spotlight."

People like michelle, the rabid shit, malkin are bred not born.

6. Someone should investigate Malkin's family because she is a self hating person.

When self-hating New Mexican Linda Chavez (anti-union, anti-bilingual education, right wing pundit) was nominated for Labor Secretary she was completely discredited when is was found out that she did not pay taxes for her illegal alien live in housekeeper (chores) and babysitter (nanny) while paying her with cash. Malkin no doubt is hiding something. I want to know who in her family is playing the system.

8. There's got to be

devils lurking in there somewhere.

9. She's an anchor baby...that rails against fellow anchor babies...

...she makes me sick...

[BrklynLib at work]

10. What an insult to Shih-tzus!!!!!

I cannot think of a creature that I dislike enough to compare her to....except one of her own kind...some other RW, hate-spouting shill.
Even this creature is more attractive than Michele Malkin.

12. excellent piece

malkin is vile beyond belief. i will be glad when her 15 minutes are over.

13. I can't be angry at predictable jerks like Malkin and Limbaugh.

They do just what you expect them to do. Of course they'll attack a twelve-year-old that dares to carry a Democratic message.

Rude Pundit, you're begging two questions: why did the Democrats pick somebody whose story could be picked apart and attacked so easily? And why aren't Party officials rising up to defend the kid and his family in public?

I got swatted down in a previous post for daring to say that they picked the wrong family as an example. They should have picked someone who was really hurting. (Someone specifically mentioned a former carpenter and Vietnam Vet who is reduced to picking through garbage dumps to support his family. HE should've given that address. He's used to garbage-eating rats; Malkin would be no problem for him.)

So, since that doesn't fly...at least among the people on DU...why are people on DU the only ones to defend the kid who gave the address? Where's Pelosi? Reed? Other elected Democratic Congresspeople? If you wanted to give your radio time to a preteen - with admittedly a message that was good and relevant - why don't you want to back him up when the right-wing scumbags start to attack?

Okay, Flame On!
